The Colliers from Still Fiddlin' by Gordon McLeod

I learned these three reels on my first trip to Ireland from Siobhan Peoples and Paul Bradley. Special thanks to the very talented Cara Wildman (bodhran) and Jonathan Milton (flute) for adding their great playing to these tunes. The tunes are The Colliers, The Floggin’ and Toss the Feathers.

Gordon McLeod goes for the real heart of the tune every time he plays. He draws from eclectic influences including traditional Irish, Django/ Grappelli jazz, Bluegrass, and Americana. While his clear, tuned and powerful sound stands out among fiddle players, Gordon strives to convey more than mere energy, but to get to the essence of the tune and to invoke a range of emotions with his playing.
